SINOPSI

In 1981, Issei Sagawa was arrested in Paris while trying to get rid of the body of one of his classmates from the Sorbonne, who he had murdered and devoured. Declared mentally unfit, he returned to Japan a free man and still expresses his desire to eat human flesh. A documentary, winner of the Orizzonti Award in Venice, that delves into the intimacies and complex psyche of the cannibal.
